Prescription costs on a high deductible plan with no drug plan?

As long as you stay in network, the base price should be close to the same, no matter who you use.

That’s not necessarily true. Our insurer, Aetna, has preferred providers. So we have to get an annual MRI done. The Dr.'s office does it for $2,500. The preferred provider, with a nicer facility – $500.
